Minor leagues (NBA) make Anthony Parker a 6 year starter, years after his prime and when he is in his mid 30s and could not even draw interest from Euroleague teams.

[QUOTE=Derrick]Link please[/QUOTE]
This.

What's the difference anyways? No more goaltending? :biggums:

[QUOTE=Euroleague]Most kids in Europe do want to play in Euroleague and don't give much of a damn about the NBA.

The NBA is barely even ever on TV in Europe.[/QUOTE]

And yet the shitty little podunk Euroleague is trying to do anything it can think of to emulate the success of the NBA, including changing their rules.

This is an American sport. We created basketball. You don't get to rule on what constitutes "real" rules, sorry.

[QUOTE=DTreats]Yeah, because kids grow up wanting to play in the Euroleague. It's merely a stepping stone to the NBA.[/QUOTE]
Well, most kids dream about playing in the NBA because of Jordan and such. But top EL team means load of money, easier schedule, you're closer to home (if you're European), etc...

Dis nikka really thinks Euroleague is better than the NBA :roll: :roll:

[QUOTE=DTreats]Euroleague has always been a shitty minor league system for the NBA, now at least you'll be able to judge talent more accurately.[/QUOTE]

Naismith was Canadian, you tool.

And FIBA existed before the NBA was even created, dumb ass.

Oh come the feck on. Nobody dreams about playing in the Euroleague, nobody. I'm from Europe and nobody dreams about playing in the Euroleague unless they are diehard fans of their team and not then would stop dreaming about the NBA. Majority of Europe don't even have an idea what the Euroleague is.. Just a few countries.

I've heard some stupid shit, but thats the worst thing I've ever heard from you and your anti NBA BS.

Defensive 3 seconds...
Timeout calls in the middle of posession...

RETARDED.

If you are from Lithuania you dont hear any kid "I want to play for chicago bulls"
Every kid says "I want to play for Zalgiris" and that's how it is.

Can't tell what's the situation in other eu countries.
